[QUOTE="Avocado Sevenfold, post: 477836"] I had my first diabetes clinic experience today. Nurse - went ok. Got a flu jab and I said I would get the pneumonia vaccine another day as I don't fancy having two alien things on the same day. I lost 2 pounds this week (16 pounds total) Statins politely declined again. She will check my HbA1c again in April and decide then whether to increase metformin from one a day. Dietitian - I think the best thing I can say about this encounter is that I managed not to cry! I went to my happy place while she chanted, "Eat more carbs, eat less cheese." :***: Podiatrist - lovely lady. Told me that diabetes is not progressive and with good bg levels, there is no reason to expect neuropathy. She said I should use my diagnosis as an excuse to pamper myself with lovely foot things from Boots. Hope you are all doing well and that FG is enjoying a joyful National Frozen Yogurt Day :joyful: [/QUOTE]
